To improve school environment conditions.

Activities:

  • Aesthetics of the environement: children to plant and water flowers.  

  • Clean air: use of bio-gas for cooking made from cow dung (cut down on charcoal, firewood, and ordinary gas);  use of solar heaters (cut down on the use of firewood because water used for cooking is heated this way)

  • Soil fertility and health: Children grow their own crops using natural manure (chicken droppings).

  • Water management: We harvest rain water in tanks to reduce the use of spring water and water from streams.
